Environmental Audit Committee: Air Pollution in England

Committee hears from witnesses

The Environmental Audit Committee will hear oral evidence on air pollution across England. The session examines the scale of the problem, its health effects, and the effectiveness of current government policy and enforcement. This feeds into the committee's wider scrutiny of environmental regulation and Labour's stated commitment to clean air targets.

Air pollution causes thousands of premature deaths annually in England and is a leading environmental health hazard. The inquiry will assess whether the government's approach—including its new environmental regulator role and any planned tightening of emission standards—is adequate to meet public health needs and international commitments. The outcome may inform future legislation on air quality and drive pressure for faster action on transport and industrial emissions.
